Not wearing protective devices when doing routine household-maintenance tasks can lead to serious health complications. Protective breathing devices are inexpensive and easy to use. Simple dust masks filter dust particles from the air you breath. Respirators do even more -- capturing fumes from pesticides, paints and solvents. There are special filter cartridges for different exposures. Get the right protection for your situation, and you’ll breathe a whole lot easier -- really! And that's the On The House tip for today.
